My 6 year old is a little me, and the baby will be 5 December. He's about 8-12 months behind, but that smile...that beautiful smile.

~You know, I've read somewhere that for the folks that do believe they had a NDE also had alot to do with their brainwaves & thinking they were having a NDE when actually, they were not.

About 18 or so years ago, my mom said she had one & explained it to me. Honestly, I'd never disrespect my Mom and try to shoot down her ordeal with the experience, but I'm really on the fence about it.

Either way, great article & thanks for sharing, Ohreally.

For those that are interested in this topic, the following link will be of interest.

There has been a lot of interesting work done on this topic at the University of Virginia; amongst other things, they have found that a consistent 18% of people who "die" on the operating table in their cardiology department, and are revived, report a NDE.

Of those reporting the experience, there is a remarkable consistency amongst all of their reports.

There are cases of people who have had near death experiences and could describe what was going on in different areas outside the operating room, or could describe everything that went on in the operating room while supposedly dead. Check out the IANDS website, the most reliable site for near death experiences.http://www.iands.org/home.html
